"The object of this bulletin is to set forth general principles involved in planning the arrangement of the buildings of the farmstead in their relation to one another.... The main considerations influencing the determination of the farmstead site are its location with respect to the rest of the farm and to public utilities, the elevation and drainage of the proposed site, the available water supply, the nature of the soil, the relation to the points of the compass, and the prevailing breezes and protection from heat and cold." -- p. 2
